WATCH the full interview of Sheriff Paul Babeu

See and judge for yourself




Sheriff Paul Babeu's Ex Speaks Out - VIDEO

From CNN
"Jose" said his immigration status is current and legal. He said he travels back and forth home to Mexico on a 10-year, US tourist visa that allows multiple-crossings of the border. He also said he was running a business in Arizona called Website Results LLC and claimed it's legal to run the business in the country, even on a tourist visa.


The pair, Jose said, initially met on the website "gay.com" in 2006, and Babeu allegedly emailed Jose a photo of him with McCain –a politician Jose said he didn't know about at the time.


They started dating and were together for three years in all, Jose said, including a short period of time when the two had split up.


Jose claims that he fell in love with Babeu and now reluctantly says he doesn't think the sheriff was ever in love with him.

CNN Suspends Roland S. Martin


CNN just suspended Roland for his insensitive tweet on Sunday. Here is their statement:
“Roland Martin’s tweets were regrettable and offensive. Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not tolerated. We have been giving careful consideration to this matter, and Roland will not be appearing on our air for the time being.”
Roland hasn't said anything yet. More to come.

CNN's Don Lemon talks about his New Book and Coming Out

More coming out news. CNN's Don Lemon is coming out to the overall public. In his new book "Transparent", Don sheds the light on his career and his life.
Mr. Lemon has not made a secret of his sexual orientation in his work life; many of his CNN co-workers and managers have long been aware that he is gay. But he still acknowledged that going public in his book carries certain risks. 

“I’m scared,” he said in a telephone interview. “I’m talking about something that people might shun me for, ostracize me for.” 

Even beyond whatever effect his revelation might have on his television career, Mr. Lemon said he recognized this step carried special risk for him as a black man.
“It’s quite different for an African-American male,” he said. “It’s about the worst thing you can be in black culture. You’re taught you have to be a man; you have to be masculine. In the black community they think you can pray the gay away.” He said he believed the negative reaction to male homosexuality had to do with the history of discrimination that still affects many black Americans, as well as the attitudes of some black women. 

“You’re afraid that black women will say the same things they do about how black men should be dating black women.” He added, “I guess this makes me a double minority now.” 

So why do it? It really came down to the act of writing the book. Mr. Lemon said he had been on a panel a couple of years ago called “The Black Man in the Age of Obama,” and was approached afterward by a publisher’s representative about writing an inspirational book. 

“It was supposed to be a little pamphlet,” he said. “You know: say your prayers; have a good, hearty handshake; say good morning to your boss.” 

But as he began to write, he came to realize that he could not hold back the truth of who he was. He started to pour out the details of his personal life. How he had grown up not knowing his father, how he had suffered abuse by someone close to him. 
I am proud of Don and I hope he inspires others to come out.

Rick Sanchez fired from CNN


Well, this is something. The man who has said things like "CNN is full of Jews" and Cotton Picking President" has been fired.

Here's the stuffing:
Rick Sanchez lost his job at CNN on Friday, just 24 hours after giving a satellite radio interview in which he called Jon Stewart a “bigot” and suggested that Jews run CNN and other media companies.
“Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company,” CNN said in a statement. “We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well.“
CNN said it would broadcast CNN Newsroom from 3-5pm for the foreseeable future.
I wonder wear he will go.
